Christingle on Christmas Eve?
Not as you know it, but - -
Bring your family bubble to St Giles Church between 3pm and 6pm. See the decorations, hear the music and let the children collect their Christingle oranges. Walk through the church to the nativity scene, light your candle, leave a donation for the Children's Society and collect your sweets as you leave. This is not a gathering, more a mini-pilgrimage to the events of the first Christmas. If you have made a box-nativity scene that you would like to become part of our Christmas display, bring it with you to leave in the Lady Chapel.
Usual social distancing and face covering rules apply

It was great to have two young bishops leading our prayers yesterday at St Giles, as we had a small puppet Santa visit and were reminded about St Nicholas' story in our Advent 'For all the Family' Eucharist.

Advent Posada Journey
Some of you may have heard of this Mexican tradition of a symbolic item travelling around the parish, visiting a different home each night? It reminds us of Mary and Joseph’s journey to Bethlehem, and of the journey we are on, preparing during Advent to celebrate again the coming of Christ at Christmas
Would you like the Advent Candle to visit your home?
Starting Friday this week (Dec 4th), an Advent candle will travel round the village, spending one night with each family who signs up,
If you would like to take part please call Chris on 790467 or email: [email protected]. If emailing, please state if there are any nights which you could not manage.
